Chapter 39: Chapter 19: First Meeting with Zhu Tian (Part 2)_1

"I apologize Teacher Xia Tian, I apologize to you all, our respective Presidents, for the intrusion. I heard from Xiao Gui that there's a first year student, a Yin-Yang balanced practitioner who cultivates both elements. I hope you could provide this junior the opportunity to continue for another academic year."

Zhu Tian's voice was clear and steady, maintaining an air of neither arrogance nor servility. Ji Dong looked at Zhu Tian in surprise, then at Zhu Gui who stood beside him, and finally at the anxious Carl and Bi Su behind them. He hadn't expected Zhu Gui to seek help on his behalf.

Xia Tian spoke solemnly, "Zhu Tian, you should understand that this is the academy's regulation."

Zhu Tian smiled slightly, "Teacher Xia Tian, rules may be rigid, but people are not. The skills that Ji Dong practices are unique, different from the usual. Who knows, he might have a breakthrough next year?"
